Anxiety and Calming Solutions for Dogs

Zylkene Plus for Small Dogs & Cats is a calming complementary feed product which combines two natural origin ingredients to offer a gentle, yet reliably effective way to help pets manage prolonged or recurring emotionally challenging situations.

The formulation makes it easy to support the long-term emotional wellbeing of every pet:
 • Suitable for use in dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and is effective both inside and outside the home
 • Capsule formulation that can be sprinkled on food, for easy administration

Zylkene is:

 • Well tolerated by pets
 • Easy to use
 • Proven effectiveness
 • First-line non-medicine options
 • Most recommended calming supplement by vets**

ThunderEssence is a calming essential oil made specifically for dogs.  It contains 100% natural essential oils from Lavender, Chamomile and Egyptian Geranium. These oils are widely used in aromatherapy for a wide variety of calming and health benefits for both humans and dogs.

ThunderEssence is great for use at home, for veterinarian visits, during car or air travel, kennel stays, and more. 

These essential oils are completely safe for dogs! Try in combination with a ThunderShirt.

The Calming Ingredients of ThunderEssence:
Lavender: The calming benefits of lavender have the same effect on dogs as they do on humans!  Lavender affects the central nervous system, giving it calming and grounding effects.

Chamomile: Chamomile has muscle-relaxing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to relax the muscles and relieve situational anxiety. It is also helpful for dogs who are prone to an upset stomach during hyperactivity.

Egyptian Geranium: Egyptian geranium has been found to have a soothing impact on dogs, helping to reduce anxiety and mental stress.

Also available as drops. See separate entry.
Need help deciding between the drops vs. the spray? The drops are more concentrated, and the spray tends to spread out to cover larger areas.  If you are planning to apply ThunderEssence onto something that will go directly on your dog, you should purchase the drops.  If you are wanting to apply ThunderEssence in an area, you should use the spray. Both can be effective in calming your dog.  

ThunderEssence is safe to use as a body mist, but please AVOID applying directly on your dog's head, or other sensitive areas.  Do not use on you dog's body if there is any history of skin allergies, hotspots, or other sensitive skin issues.

When plugged into the dog’s environment, the diffuser disperses the dog appeasing pheromone for up to four weeks.

As pheromones are species specific, D.A.P. is not harmful to humans or other animals. D.A.P. is natural, safe and simple to use. The use of pheromones in treating both dogs and cats has been found to be an effective way of helping them to overcome fear and stress including separation related problems or the fear of loud noises, places or things.

The dog appeasing pheromone in D.A.P. is a synthetic replica of the natural appeasing pheromone released by the lactating female, which enables puppies to identify the nest and their mother. These pheromones have been found to provide dogs with a message of well-being and calming that helps them to adjust to stressful, new and unpredictable situations.

SIZE: 48mL refill only.

Mother dogs communicate with their puppies through natural chemical signals, or pheromones. These pheromones are scientifically called Dog Appeasing Pheromones. These pheromones are odorless messages and are only perceived by dogs, not cats or people.

ADAPTIL replicates these pheromones, providing comfort and security to dogs of all ages. This helps dogs and puppies to feel reassured and relaxed in challenging situations, reducing signs of stress and anxiety.

How does Adaptil work?

Using these pheromones, ADAPTIL helps puppies to feel as comforted and secure with their new family as they did with their mother. ADAPTIL promotes better socialisation and learning to help puppies develop into confident, well-adjusted adults.
Also reassuring for adult dogs, the dog appeasing pheromones in ADAPTIL help dogs feel reassured and relaxed in challenging situations.

Adaptil is easy to use

• Just plug and play: screw the vial onto the electric Diffuser unit, plug it into an electric socket and switch it on
• Leave the Diffuser switched on continuously

Good to Know

• Each ADAPTIL Calm Refill covers an area up to 70 m2
• Each Refill lasts up to 30 days. Depending on its environmental surrounds, each Refill may last between 3-5 weeks
• Avoid plugging in the ADAPTIL Calm Home Diffuser under shelves and furniture, or behind doors, curtains and furniture

More...

• Ensure continuous comfort to your dog by using an ADAPTIL Calm Refill every month
• The diffuser should be checked monthly and replaced every six months to ensure optimum effect
